In Dwelling

I'm Roz, and this is my relaxed space. It's about fun, good conversation and — well yes — good conversation. Pull up a well-padded armchair and help yourself to something to drink. You'll find cheese and crackers on the sideboard. What's new with you?

If you're looking for things in a more serious or spiritual vein, you can check out Exultet where I write that sort of thing.

I've successfully navigated interstate highways to St. Louis, or more properly, Florissant, MO. It unfortunately appears to be a place where I'll be more likely to find the Missouri College of Beauty and Barbering than a sushi restaurant, but I'm still really new and am keeping an open mind. I took a little jaunt into Clayton, another STL suburb, and found it charming -- similar to the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, so I can tell that the exploring process will be lots of fun.

I'm finding myself delighted with small things -- like passing by an aptly-named Farmersville, Illinois; the fact that the local (excellent) grocery store is named Schnucks (to rhyme with 'looks' and pronouced by locals with a straight face); that my many candles make the apartment smell wonderful. I don't feel consciously lonely, but I can tell that I am by how frustrating I find it to be without e-mail until probably next Monday. That's a primary friendship tool for me, the better that it's asynchronous so I don't have to feel like I'm imposing on my loved ones' time in order to make a connection. Now it's absent and will stay so all weekend. I have some activities planned, but it's not going to be nearly enough.

Mother of several, grandmother of a couple, wife to one very good man. My epitaph will probably read, "Well, you just never know." Life is good, but it takes unexpected turns. Good thing I like surprises.
